"I didn't know what to expect when I came to my first appointment with Cat Rooney. She told me what the process can be like, educated me about hair growth stages, and assured me we would take the hair removal in bite-size doses.

During the first few sessions, she coached me through some breathing and relaxation so I would be better able to handle the work. She also tried different settings on her machine to find what worked best for me and my skin and nervous system. It helped immensely, and her treatments are quite easy to handle.

Cat is compassionate and always willing to work with where I am on any given day. She takes the time at the end of the treatment to calm my skin down, and two hours after my appointment, no one can tell I've had electrolysis, except for the fact that I have less hair on my face!I I highly recommend Cat to all my friends and colleagues who feel they need electrolysis."

FAQs

Electrolysis By Cat Rooney - Hair Removal, Electrolysis, Kansas, KS

WHAT IS ELECTROLYSIS?

Electrolysis is a scientific process employed to destroy hair roots permanently. First, a thin probe is inserted into a hair follicle all the way down to the root. Then, a small amount of electricity is applied to the root through the probe. This destroys the hair growth tissue. Finally, the hair is pulled out from the hair follicle using a tweezer.

WHAT ARE THE CONTRADICTION?

Electrolysis contraindications include: pacemaker/ heart conditions, epilepsy, bleeding disorders, diabetes, metal dental or facial implants including plates, braces or pin, pregnancy, cancer, and recent laser resurfacing.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FOR MY FIRST VISIT?

Your first visit begins with a consultation. We go over the treatment options, as well as the area to be treated. We then tailor an individual plan that is best for you. We also discuss, in detail, the process of electrolysis and any individual issues that could be related to excess hair growth. This consultation is brief and informative.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

The number of treatments will vary from client to client and depends on the growth cycle of the hair, the quality of the hair and any previous hair removal methods. Electrolysis is a commitment you make to yourself for yourself, the most important factor to success is sticking to a schedule of treatments. On the average, can expect 9 months to 24 with monthly visits.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS CAN I SCHEDULE?

Depending upon the area being treated, how your skin reacts to treatment and how motivated you are, you may schedule a treatment as often as every 3-4 days. However, most clients find one visit per week sufficient. After the initial clearing of the area, treatments will become less frequent and shorter in duration. During your initial consultation, we will discuss a personalized schedule to fit your needs and lifestyle.

WILL ALL MY HAIR BE GONE AFTER ONE TREATMENT?

Deep coarse hairs are not always eliminated with one treatment. Hairs that have been plucked can be stubborn due to follicle distortion. Breaking down these hairs may require additional treatments. Also, hair grows in different stages, so keeping a regular schedule will help to make sure that all of the hair in the treated area has been epilated during its active growing stage.
